Product details
Overview
SMBG5369A/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 51 V, ±10% tolerance (A-suffix), and DO-215AA gull-wing package. It regulates voltage across wide current and temperature ranges, supports surge currents up to 230 A (8.3 ms half-sine), and is used in overvoltage protection circuits for industrial power supplies and DC bus clamping.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5369A/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5369A/TR13 pinout, SMBG5369A/TR13 application, or SMBG5369A/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, maximum surge current rating, thermal resistance (RθJL = 25 °C/W), and RoHS compliance status (non-RoHS, Sn/Pb plating).
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision voltage reference and transient clamp in reverse-biased mode, with cathode indicated by band and rated for junction temperatures from –65 °C to +150 °C. Its dynamic impedance is 27 Ω at IZT = 25 mA, and it exhibits minimal voltage variation versus current due to low ZZK (93 Ω at 1 mA).
The SMBG5369A/TR13 delivers 5.0 W power dissipation at TL < 25 °C, derating linearly above that point per Figure 1. It meets MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 for ESD insensitivity and has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity-no dry pack required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 51 V ±10% at IZT = 25 mA - defines clamping threshold in overvoltage protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at lead temperature < 25 °C - requires thermal management on FR4 board with recommended pad layout |
| Max Surge Current (IZSM) | 230 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - enables robust transient suppression without failure |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 27 Ω at IZT = 25 mA - ensures stable regulation under varying load current |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W - allows direct heat conduction to PCB copper, critical for sustained power handling |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | < 0.5 µA at VR = 41 V - guarantees low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temperature Range | –65 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial motor drive environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode indicated by band; terminals are anode (unbanded end) and cathode (banded end). Designed for visible solder joints and compatible with standard reflow profiles (260 °C for 10 s).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal in forward bias; referenced ground in reverse-bias clamping | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., GND or return path) during Zener operation |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal in forward bias; high-side clamp node in reverse bias | Banded terminal connected to protected rail (e.g., 48 V DC bus) to shunt overvoltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5369B equivalent | Identical electrical specs and test methods - enables drop-in replacement in legacy designs |
| Gull-wing lead form | Enables visual solder joint inspection and reliable reflow yield on automated SMT lines |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | No dry pack or baking required before assembly - reduces manufacturing overhead |
| High IZM rating | 125 mA max regulator current - supports stable regulation across wide operating current range |
| Non-ESD-sensitive | Qualified per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - eliminates ESD handling controls in production |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5369B | Same VZ, tolerance, and IZM; axial-leaded T-18 package instead of DO-215AA | Requires through-hole assembly and larger board area; not suitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when legacy through-hole compatibility or manual repairability is prioritized over board space |
| SMBJ5369A | Same VZ and tolerance, but J-bend DO-214AA package; RθJA = 90 °C/W vs. 90 °C/W (same), but RθJL not specified | Compatible with same footprint class but different lead geometry; less visible solder joint inspection capability | Select when existing DO-214AA tooling is in place and gull-wing visual verification is not required |
Compared with SMBG5369A/TR13, 1N5369B offers identical regulation performance but mandates through-hole assembly, while SMBJ5369A provides surface-mount compatibility with reduced mechanical inspection confidence due to J-bend leads.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5369A/TR13?
The SMBG5369A/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±10%, denoted by the "A" suffix in its part number. This means its breakdown voltage is guaranteed between 45.9 V and 56.1 V at IZT = 25 mA and TL = 25 °C. This tolerance directly impacts clamping accuracy in overvoltage protection circuits using SMBG5369A/TR13.
Is SMBG5369A/TR13 RoHS compliant?
No, SMBG5369A/TR13 is not RoHS compliant. The "A" suffix indicates Sn/Pb plating, not matte-tin RoHS-compliant finish (which would carry "e3" suffix, e.g., SMBG5369Be3). This distinction affects soldering profile selection and environmental compliance reporting for SMBG5369A/TR13 in EU-marketed products.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for SMBG5369A/TR13?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for SMBG5369A/TR13 is 125 mA at TL < 25 °C, calculated per Note 3 in the datasheet using P = 5.0 W and VZM = 51 V × 1.1 = 56.1 V. Exceeding this current without adequate heat sinking risks thermal runaway and permanent failure of SMBG5369A/TR13.
How does SMBG5369A/TR13 compare to SMBJ5369A in terms of thermal performance?
SMBG5369A/TR13 specifies RθJL = 25 °C/W (junction-to-lead), enabling direct thermal conduction to PCB copper, whereas SMBJ5369A does not publish RθJL. Both share RθJA = 90 °C/W on FR4, but SMBG5369A/TR13's gull-wing design provides superior thermal path control - a key reliability advantage for SMBG5369A/TR13 in thermally demanding applications.
Can SMBG5369A/TR13 be used as a direct replacement for 1N5369B?
Yes, SMBG5369A/TR13 is electrically equivalent to 1N5369B per the datasheet: identical VZ, tolerance, IZT, ZZT, and surge ratings. However, SMBG5369A/TR13 uses DO-215AA surface-mount packaging versus 1N5369B's axial T-18, so PCB layout and assembly process must be updated - SMBG5369A/TR13 is not a mechanical drop-in for 1N5369B.
